About the Song
Conway Twitty. Now there was a voice that could melt butter and mend a broken heart, all in the same song. Today, we’re gonna set the dial back to 1981, the year he released a toe-tapping, good-time tune called Red Neckin’ Love Makin’ Night. Now, this song might not be your classic Conway ballad, but it sure knows how to get a party started.
Back then, country music was starting to feel a little more polished, a little less down-home. But Conway Twitty never strayed too far from his roots. Red Neckin’ Love Makin’ Night is a reminder of that. It’s a song that celebrates small-town life, blue-collar pride, and of course, a little bit of romance under the Friday night lights.
The title itself tells you exactly what you’re in for. It’s a playful wink to country folks everywhere, a celebration of their way of life. Twitty’s smooth vocals weave through the story, painting a picture of a steamy summer night, a jukebox blasting, and two lovebirds ready to cut a rug.
This song might not be all heartbreak and steel guitars, but it’s a slice of pure country fun. So, put on your dancing shoes, grab your favorite squeeze, and crank up the volume for a little Red Neckin’ Love Makin’ Night with the legendary Conway Twitty.
